Our emergency responders cannot always talk to each other during crisis situations. The State Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) was formed by legislative mandate in 2003 and works to ensure:

All emergency responders, across all levels of government and across all jurisdictions can talk to each other and share data:

(1) on demand,(2) in real-time,(3) as needed, and(4) as authorized.

In addition to major disasters, there are a number of emergencies that can happen in any community on any day requiring seamless radio connections and data sharing including school shootings, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, fires and crimes.
